Okay so, I was rewatching the BvS video I plan to do a rebuttal on.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone being so.. ANGRY at a man for loving & caring for his girlfriend and his mom.
They’re of the “Superman only cares about his friends and loved ones” (which as anyone who ACTUALLY watched the film will tell you, its bullshit) camp so I didn’t expect much, but holy CRAP.

So, apparently: Superman saying “you’re my world” to Lois makes his sacrifice unheroic.
Because, and I quote, “Lois Lane is his whole world? Are you FUCKING kidding me?“

The person later adds that “no one looses their doubts and uncertaines just because they found a bad bitch that throws it back” (I wish I was making this up, I really am)
“Usually villains threaten to blow up schools or hospitals to the heroes, but Snyder’s Superman is so fucking superficial that you have to threaten his mom for him to care”

LIKE????????????? HES BEEN SAVING STRANGERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD HIS WHOLE LIFE????
For whatever reason, the idea of a person caring for his loved ones and being justifiably concerned with their wellbeing cannot function without it meaning that they care EXCLUSIVELY for them.

What about all those situations where Clark saves people he doesn’t know? Or hates?
No mention in the video. None, nada. No mention of Clark’s investigation or him staying to save the survivors of the bombing. Or him saving others since childhood. Or saving Lex. Or sacrificing his life for the planet thrice, twice of them by nuke and via World Engine.
When told in the comments that he should watch the UE, he said

“This is the UE you chucklefuck”.

Well then silly, then maybe start including the scenes that DIFFERENTIATE it from the TC?
Oh wait, they go against your narrative so you left them out.
Same can be said for all the parts of the film you didn’t purposefully twist to fit your broken narrative.
If I could describe this person’s video in one word, it would be “painful”. However, its the NECESSARY kind of pain. Its something I believe ALL film reviewers, essayists and analyzers should watch and learn what NOT to do.

So I guess its worth something, in one way. Idk.
